Augustine of Hippo, on John 18:12
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
John 18:12 · Douay-Rheims
“Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:”
On this verse:
“(Tr. cxiii) Why they did so, he tells us immediately after: For he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. Matthew, in order to shorten the narrative, says that He was led to Caiaphas; because He was led to Annas first, as being the father in law of Caiaphas. So that we must understand that Annas wished to act Caiaphas’s part.”
